Default Mounting older Audi wheels (57.1 bore) on a newer Audi (66.6 Hub)

Hi

I am hoping to mount my old Audi wheels 5X112 (57.1 bore) on my 2012 A6 which uses as 66.6mm hub.

Does anyone know if it's even possible? Can I get Hub Centering rings?

thank you

Machine shop could re bore them to 66.6 for you.

Hub rings would essentially shrink the wheel center bore down, not expand it.

Got it. mjfloyd1 you are correct I looks like the only way to mount these is to rebore them which I am debating now since there's no going back... mm thanks again.

There is "going back". Just use hubcentric rings.

There are rings that would do this. They would be 57.1mm inside and 66.6mm outside with the 5 x112 wheel bolt pattern. You can get specialty rings to do about anything -even change wheel bolt pattern. It would just be easier for me to have them re bored. But that's just me... I'm not sure how much the rings would run but they would need to be hub centric to avoid headaches
